Vendor Compliance and Receiving Discipline
The invoice is not reality until someone counts cases, checks temps, and notes shorts. A calm receiving ritual keeps your inventory module and your bank account aligned.
One door, one clipboard

Credit notes and follow-up
Unresolved credits should live on a weekly list with owners. Silence is expensive.
